Great location for meeting a cruise
It was a perfect hotel for meeting tours and meeting up with a cruise after the stay.

The hotel and rooms were beautiful. Staff was friendly and very helpful. My only complaint would be the parking which is a five minute walk from the hotel in a gated lot. This means you need to have your car stop at the hotel to unload/load any heavy luggage, and then hope that it doesn't rain while you walk to/from the lot.

One night in Tahiti
Basically just a pit stop. One night stay. Very conveniently located for bars and restaurants. European style room. Not overly spacious but all done great.

Great choice near the port.
The location and quality were an excellent value for the price. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The young woman Bevia (?) on the evening shift at reception went above and beyond in her helpfulness!
We would definitely stay there again!

After cruise stop
Quiet, very clean and well maintained. Perfect location for cruise passengers—just across the street. Lots of restaurants in nearby but none so special. We paid $100 to check in early. About 20 minutes from airport.
